The 2025 15th International Conference on Environmental Engineering and Applications (ICEEA 2025) is the premier forum for presenting new advances and research results in theoretical, experimental, and applied Environmental Engineering and Applications. The conference will bring together leading researchers, engineers, and scientists from around the world interested in the domain. https://lnkd.in/ewVaNzWi

My new article/blog for the Royal Society of Chemistry environmental chemistry group. Two years of consulting and training in four continents shows the technology of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is very different in different parts of the world: the views of many African scientists, professionals and policy makers are sceptical; in the USA the approach is resolutely capitalist; in Europe ideological; and in SE Asia pragmatic. This article looks at why these different views have evolved and the implications for future CCS implementation: https://lnkd.in/eJBDFEbv 

Market introduction of wave energy converters (WECs) demands a rigorous evaluation of failure consequence risks. In our latest publication featured in the Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, we present an innovative methodology for objectively assessing these risks. Our comprehensive study spans three distinct sites, encompassing both point absorber (PA) and oscillating water column (OWC) WECs. By analyzing 39 failure modes for PA and 30 for OWC, we illuminate their relative contributions. This research provides insights to prioritize cost-effective failure mitigation strategies during the operational phase of WECs.

This is a brief and basic presentation about fine bubble technology and application that our application agent in Vietnam presented to a group of university students of biological and environmental engineering faculty in Van Lang University of Vietnam in Mar 2023. The content is a 2022-updated market overview and summary of a 300-pages book named "Micro and Nanobubbles - Fundamentals and Applications" by Hideki Tsuge published in 2014. Fine bubble solutions have now become very common with more than 100 companies in the world.

New paper identifying partially compensating effects of wind and buoyancy forcing on global ocean deoxygenation since the 1960s: https://lnkd.in/dcNzMPUK Congratulations, Helene A. L. Hollitzer on this comprehensive study emerging from your MSc thesis!

At the undergraduate level, I conceptualized and designed a solar box cooker, conducted empirical analysis, and presented material selection for reducing cooking time using the disbanded energy converted from light. This project was later presented at the National Science Commission of Science and Technology, the national science conference of 2012, and further on various platforms, making a case for leveraging locally available scientifically tested materials to develop engineering products crucial for biodiversity conservation and upscaling efficiency and sustainability.As an Environmental Engineer, it is fulfilling to blend such technical scientific/engineering knowledge with governance, people, and systems thinking (ecosystems) to create a lasting impact on communities through such scientific solutions.

Masahiro Suzuki, PhD graduate from CEU’s Department of Environmental Sciences and Policy, received one of the university’s Best Dissertation Awards this year in recognition of his thesis research titled “Political Acceleration in Energy Transitions: Historical Interventions and Their Outcomes in the G7 and the EU, compared to Net-Zero Targets”. 👏 Learn more about the aim of his groundbreaking research and the motivation behind it: https://lnkd.in/d2mRMGHT
